Fix the chains, sprockets, guides and tensioners. If your timing chain goes, either on its own or because the balance shaft chain goes and takes out the timing chain on the way, you're then looking at bent valves, damaged pistons, etc. -- that's a LOT more expensive than fixing the chains now!
Sprocket-wise, I'd suggest replacing our cam sprockets and especially that you replace the balance shaft sprocket on the camshaft -- I think you said you had a '93, and that particular sprocket has been prone to wear out (and thereby allow the balance shaft chain to fall off, which would take out the timing chain).
Good luck!
